Finnegan Oldfield in Reinventing Marvin (2017)
Marvin is different. He is a quiet, sensitive and artistic fifteen-year-old with an unwitting attraction to other boys. This makes him victim to forceful bullying, both at school and within the confines of his impoverished home, making his situation unbearable. With the support of his teacher, Marvin discovers his thirst for theatre, and its transformative power of becoming someone else. Refusing to be victimised, Marvin moves to Paris to reinvent himself. As a theatre student, he swiftly befriends the right people including legendary actress Isabelle Huppert (playing herself), and with her help, begins to exorcise the ghosts of his childhood.

    A film everyone can relate to, at least on some level

    Reinventing Marvin is a film I think everyone can relate to, at least on some level. When looking at the life of the main character and his journey (both figurative and literal), it is hard not to see aspects of our own lives--or at least that was the case for me. But then, isn't that the purpose of all films? To make us, the viewer, reflect on our own lives and therefore sympathize with the main characters? In that sense, the film is nothing special or unusual, but give the trailer a watch and if it looks like something you'd be into, give the film a try, you might get something out of it!
